The post US Probe Intensifies Into Bitmain’s Mining Hardware appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Federal scrutiny rises as Bitmain hardware near U.S. facilities sparks security alarms. Operation Red Sunset probes risks of foreign mining devices in critical networks. Potential restrictions on China-made rigs may reshape U.S. mining supply chains. Federal officials expanded their scrutiny of China’s technology footprint as they intensified a national security review into Bitmain Technologies, a major supplier of Bitcoin mining hardware.  According to reports, the review led by the Department of Homeland Security focuses on whether the company’s equipment could create strategic vulnerabilities across U.S. infrastructure. The investigation follows concerns about foreign hardware operating near sensitive facilities, including a military installation where Bitmain machines recently appeared.  Officials now aim to determine whether China-linked technologies could influence U.S. digital systems, disrupt the power grid, or enable hidden surveillance. The review reflects rising geopolitical tensions and growing attention to supply chain risks. Security Risks Shape the Core of the Investigation The probe, known as Operation Red Sunset, centers on allegations that Bitmain’s mining devices could allow unauthorized access through hidden control features. Federal inspectors examined chips and firmware recovered at U.S. ports. They also reviewed hardware deployed near critical infrastructure hubs.  Officials noted that the proximity of these devices to military and government-linked areas increased their concerns. Additionally, investigators assessed earlier warnings from the Senate Intelligence Committee, which documented several security weaknesses in imported equipment. The case expanded after federal teams evaluated hardware purchased by American Bitcoin Corp., a mining venture linked to Donald Trump’s sons. The review considers whether widespread use of China-made devices can expose the U.S. grid to foreign manipulation. Moreover, investigators aim to understand how imported mining rigs interact with local networks and industrial systems. Industry Impact and Broader Regulatory Pressure The investigation carries wider implications for the crypto mining sector. Many U.S. operators rely heavily on foreign-made…
